September 15, 2018

Vice President Joe Biden was the first sitting Vice President of the United States to express his personal support for marriage equality and helped lead the most pro-LGBTQ administration in our nation’s history. Since leaving office, Vice President Biden has continued to champion the rights of LGBTQ people in America and globally, and the Biden Foundation continues to build upon the Bidens’ lifelong commitment to advancing equality, including fighting for equal treatment, dignity, and justice for LGBTQ people. Recently, the Biden Foundation announced two new initiatives: a three-year partnership with the YMCA of the USA to foster LGBTQ inclusion in communities across the country, and a public education and family acceptance campaign called “As You Are” to encourage LGBTQ people to share their stories of acceptance and rejection to help change our culture to ensure a bright future for all LGBTQ young people.
